Black Widow: Cate Shortland lands director's job

Shortland's hiring caps off a long director search that reportedly included more than 70 possible candidates. Shortland has received critical praise for her film, Lore, which is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with a 94% rating. The Marvel Cinematic Universe will be directed by Cate Shortland, according to THR. Last month the director hunt narrowed with Amma Asante (Belle) and Maggie Betts (Novitiate) arising as the finalists alongside Shortland, while Inglourious Basterds breakout Melanie Laurent and Boys Don't Cry filmmaker Kimberly Pierce almost made the final cut. Although the studio initially meant to hire a female filmmaker, the Hollywood trade says the Disney-owned studio "stalled at one point and the studio looked at male directors".

Shortland first became known to Australian audiences in 2004 with her independent feature film Somersault, starring Abbie Cornish and Sam Worthington.
